Extracellular matrix composition reveals complex and dynamic stromal-epithelial interactions in the mammary gland.
Review in Journal of mammary gland biology and neoplasia, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 66 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The mammary gland is an excellent model system to study the interplay between stroma and epithelial cells because of the gland's unique postnatal development and its distinct functional states. This review focuses on the contribution of the extracellular matrix (ECM) to stromal-epithelial interactions in the mammary gland. We describe how ECM physical properties, protein composition, and proteolytic state impact mammary gland architecture as well as provide instructive cues that influence the function of mammary epithelial cells during pubertal gland development and throughout adulthood. Further, based on recent proteomic analyses of mammary ECM, we describe known mammary ECM proteins and their potential functions, as well as describe several ECM proteins not previously recognized in this organ. ECM proteins are discussed in the context of the morphologically-distinct stromal subcompartments: the basal lamina, the intra- and interlobular stroma, and the fibrous connective tissue. Future studies aimed at in-depth qualitative and quantitative characterization of mammary ECM within these various subcompartments is required to better elucidate the function of ECM in normal as well as in pathological breast tissue.
